Survey Methodology

Which law firms are the best to work for? For some, this is a
far more important consideration than prestige. To determine our
Best 25 Firms to Work For, we used a formula that weighed the most
relevant categories for an overall quality of life ranking. Each
firm's overall score was calculated using the following
formula:

Like our Vault Law 100 rankings, our quality of life rankings
are meant to reflect the subjective opinions of associates. These
rankings are based on perceptions of insiders--some of whom may be
biased in favor (or against) their firms.

Note: Vault's Best Law Firms to Work For methodology changed for
its 2014 rankings. Previous rankings were based on a slightly
different methodology.
